mum have sucked ever since kria bailed.

[brownbuffalo]

Or that one too. I went to that show for FREE, just for Volta. Other than that, my fave is still seeing them in San Diego in 2005, 3 hour and 15 minute set, woot.

if you are talking about the RIMAC show you are very very wrong

the longest show they did in all of 2005 was 2 hours and 45 mins which was one of the two philly shows

the san diego show was 2 hours and 30 mins tops, and trust me i know

i am listening to that show right now

and the price for the NYE show is now $55

also volta won't be around the states til spring or summer

just like 2005 europe finally gets a headline tour round feb. followed by japan

[luckyface]

Just got back from Jimmy Eat World at the Wiltern. Wow! What a show! Although the response from those in the pit was weak to say the least, one of the better crowds for a show I have seen in LA. A lot of people were into it. Great setlist and a really nice venue. It definitely put the casino show last night to shame.

[tessalasset]

me: laaaaaaaaame
rocke: what!
me: i hate not having a phone
rocke: ohhh
rocke: yeah that would be quite irritating
rocke: did you at least enjoy the show??
me: i hate also not knowing that fucking JEW went on at fucking 9:00
me: and i hate showing up at 9:30 right as fucking my favorite song on the new album is ending
rocke: did you get there late?
rocke: oh shit!
rocke: that sucks!
rocke: which song??
me: thinking i still had like 30 mins til they started

rocke: they were done by 830
rocke: i got there shortly after 8
me: and also i love that my friend told me i was on the band's guest list and i totally wasnt
rocke: oh man. that really sucks
rocke: :-(
me: like...what would i have done if i didnt have that backup
rocke: im sorry
me: im gonna email her tomorrow asking what happened
rocke: yeah seriously
rocke: yeah you def should
rocke: cause that blows
rocke: and be like, what up bitch?
me: not that i even would have been able to get you a pit wristband cause i got there so fucking late it wasnt even worth it
me: ive never been so irritated post-a JEW show
me: i was really happy for you when they played polaris
rocke: i can imagine. that would ruin my night honestly
rocke: thanks! it looks like they played it bc the guitar went out!
me: and i was insanely happy when they played for me this is heaven
me: i LOVED the lights
me: even better than el rey
rocke: yeah that was def a surprise
me: i had this asian guy in front of me FREAKING the fuck out during every song
rocke: hahahahah i hate when those types are around me
me: and this guy was fucking spazzing out to every song, to the point where i thought he was just acting and doing it for the attention
rocke: wow
rocke: did you "accidentally" elbow him?
me: like...jew is fantastic, but theyre not a fucking life-changing religious experience type shit
me: you just cant like jimmy eat world THAT much
me: you knwo?
rocke: oh totally
me: but yeah the set was great
me: i loved what i did hear
me: it looked and sounded amazing
rocke: oh man the set was almost perfect

HOw much is Sigur Ros?
I so want to see them.

[wmgaretjax]

Jimmy Eat World? What the FUCK people?

[Boourns]

HOw much is Sigur Ros?
I so want to see them.

It's a screening of their tour film at the Arclight, possibly followed by a q&a and acoustic set with the band. Whether or not they will be there, I don't know. The word changes every hour, it seems. First they are going to be in LA on the second, then not, then they're going to instead play El Capitan on the first, then not, then the movie is screening at the Arclight on the second and fourth but no band, then the band will be at the screening on the second, then no, then yes, then... Either way, it's sold out :(

Have you ever seen them before?

[Beef Jerky]

No I've never seen them. I want to see them with a full orchestra n stuffffffffff

[suprefan]

No I've never seen them. I want to see them with a full orchestra n stuffffffffff

Maybe they end up being the Hollywood Bowl band next year with the L.A. Phil.

[wmgaretjax]

you don't need an orchestra with sigur ros. those dudes can carry their weight all on their own.

[Boourns]

No I've never seen them. I want to see them with a full orchestra n stuffffffffff

Sigur Ros with a full orchestra...ooooh. If that happened, there'd be no point to there ever being another concert because none would ever live up to that.

[Boourns]

Maybe they end up being the Hollywood Bowl band next year with the L.A. Phil.

God, I hope they come back next year.

You know what would own? Portishead with the LA Phil.

[luckyface]

God, I hope they come back next year.

You know what would own? Portishead with the LA Phil.

Portishead & Sigur Ros with the LA Phil would be even better.

Not at the same time, but the same bill.

[tessalasset]

you know what would also own? dan deacon with the la phil.

[bmack86]

Just let Sigur Ros back at the Bowl without an orchestra. When I saw that show, I thought it was good. The more I think back on it, though, the more I realize that I saw something truly amazing and otherworldly that night. It was one of the greatest concerts I've ever witnessed.

[bmack86]

you know what would also own? dan deacon with the la phil.

Yes, that would. Yer being sarcastic, I know, but that would be so much fun. He'd have the biggest smile on his face, and I bet he'd actually write them some pieces to play, as he's got a degree in music composition.

[Boourns]

I had the worst day of my life the day I saw Sigur Ros at the Avalon. They cured the pain and deathwishes like only they and Radiohead can. Mmm.

[tessalasset]

awwwww. that was a pretty amazing show. my day that day just consisted of me sitting in line at the avalon since like noon.

[suprefan]

Theres so many like ideas that could work. Who knows, Radiohead with the L.a. Phil would kill. Sufjan, Portishead, Sigur Ros, Air,.

[arbouler]

awwwww. that was a pretty amazing show. my day that day just consisted of me sitting in line at the avalon since like noon.


aaaand i cut the line and joined you. hehe.

[Boourns]

Radiohead with the LA Phil would be the definition of EPIC. Supposedly the powers that be attempted it in 2001, but there wasn't enough room for the orchestra, the band, and all their crazy equipment.

[tessalasset]

aaaand i cut the line and joined you. hehe.dude we've known eachother for a long time now! i didn't realize we went so far back. that rules.

[suprefan]

Radiohead with the LA Phil would be the definition of EPIC. Supposedly the powers that be attempted it in 2001, but there wasn't enough room for the orchestra, the band, and all their crazy equipment.

But this year, its bigger and beter and it would work. They could totally fit the production and the l.a. phil under the shell. Faust Arp with a full orchestra would KILL. I would wanna be in on the rehearsal sessions, with jonny just putting all his ideas out there.

[mistdevil]

INTERPOL ROAD TRIP!!

[JustSteve]

i may stop by the tool show at the nokia thetaer in december.

[ThomThom]

INTERPOL ROAD TRIP!!

Steve, when are you leaving for SF?

[suprefan]

Steve, when are you leaving for SF?

dude, he is going to ride with me. I was gonna tell you, but you didnt call me back.

[mistdevil]

yea sasha, me, bev going with chris =)

[suprefan]

Yeah yeah.

[ThomThom]

BASTARDS! I'm not leaving until Saturday morning sometime, you better hold my spot and if any of those Interpol groupies have an issue with it I will introduce them to the end of whatever bottle of whiskey I may be carrying.

Chris, what time do doors usually open at Bill Graham?

[kreutz2112]

Just saw interpol two nights ago. It was moved from an arena to a club because ticket sales were poor. It was the third time I have seen Interpol and I have to say it was the most enjoyable out of the three. They could barely get all there lighting equipment on stage because the satge was so small. But they seemed to be having a good time and they played a pretty good setlist also. A lot off Turn on The Bright Lights and Antics, only a few off their new one.

[arbouler]

probably seeing pj harvey in west la tomorrow. we'll see. if not, my nights are free for the next week! finally! i cant seem to rest!

You also got The Shout Out Louds, so 3 bands for 10 bucks.(or so a special deal happend to get peopel to go) Why cant Smiths Tix exist here in l.a. and give cool deals like that?

[brownbuffalo]

woo hoo Mars Volta presale tomorrow morning

new album art looks sick

can't wait for New Years!

[mistdevil]

BASTARDS! I'm not leaving until Saturday morning sometime, you better hold my spot and if any of those Interpol groupies have an issue with it I will introduce them to the end of whatever bottle of whiskey I may be carrying.



hey do you have extra pair sasha?

[suprefan]

Well well well. As if they were not sneaky enough. The price went up on the Mars Volta NYE show. $55 now, wonder why the extra $5.

[brownbuffalo]

probably because of the special guests

[kreutz2112]

You also got The Shout Out Louds, so 3 bands for 10 bucks.(or so a special deal happend to get peopel to go) Why cant Smiths Tix exist here in l.a. and give cool deals like that?

Yeah, shout out louds put on a good show. When they moved the show to the smaller venue the ticket prices stayed the same for a while (~$30). But then for one weekend ticket prices dropped to $10. Also, I dont think it was smithstix that dropped the prices. it was the producer of the show (Postfontaine). They resell their tickets through a distributor called 24tix. So I dont think smithstix had anything to with the drop in price. If ticket sales are ever suffering postfontaine always drops the price for like one weekend. I was hoping they would do that for Morrissey tickets, but I dont think ticket sales were low for that show anyway. Also, I am pretty sure the concert going crowd in SLC in a small fraction (like a very small fraction) of what it is in LA. For example, the Arcade Fire show here did not even sell out. In fact they moved the concert to a smaller venue, and the show still didnt sell out. Whereas in LA Arcade Fire tickets sell out almost instantly, right?

[suprefan]

Aaah got it confused, cause 24 and smiths are the ones who handle most shows right? Well the AF show here in September didnt sell out.(hollywood bowl holds 17k, they only had 13 and change that night) All that mattered was getting seats up front. and yes the crowds are probably way small there. you still get a lto of good shwos which is nice. Better than being in a city that no bands go through.

[kreutz2112]

Yes, smiths and 24tix handle most shows. We do get luckier than like wyoming, or new mexico...but I would say Arizona and Colorado get more love than Utah. There are so many bands that just straight up skip salt lake when going in between say phoenix and denver. But sometimes we get lucky and have Wu Tang stop here in between like LA and Chicago and play some little club that only holds 600 people. I guess that is one benefit of seeing shows here. Big bands that are able to play in front of arena sized crowds play at small venues.

[shakermaker113]

Just saw interpol two nights ago. It was moved from an arena to a club because ticket sales were poor...

damn! I wish that had happened here in SF. not that I was paying attention anyway. I'd love to see them in a club though. I didn't go because of the venue size & ticket price. oh well.

[tessalasset]

so this is my first time listening to "disintegration" by jimmy eat world today (somehow, i never managed to listen to that EP), and its one of my favorite songs by them easily. how the hell did i miss this all these years?

[luckyface]

Correction: it is the 2nd time. You heard it last night.

[tessalasset]

ok ok second time. more like 30th time. ive been listening to it all day. even last night tho, first time hearing it, i remember thinking how awesome it sounded. it reminds me of tovtr at the end.

What do you think of the other songs on the EP?

[tessalasset]

there are other songs on the EP?

[bmack86]

probably seeing pj harvey in west la tomorrow. we'll see. if not, my nights are free for the next week! finally! i cant seem to rest!

Where? WHERE?!

[bballarl]

WHERE IS THAT SHOW

[bballarl]

This would be my ideal show schedule for the next 3 days:

10/18: PJ Harvey @ somewhere in West LA
10/19: Black Lips @ Troubadour
10/20: Dr. Dog @ Troubadour

More than likely, it will be the latter two.

[bmack86]

I'm gonna try to make the Black Lips show as well, and we're both shootin' for the PJ Harvey show.

[algunz]

[BoardsofCoachella]

Caribou the 26th, I'm going

[arbouler]

if im not getting in, i can prolly fwd your photos to p4k but it's their call if they wanna run it.

[luckyface]

UNKLE the 26th, who's goin?

Me! Looks like it is sold out now.

[summerkid]

which should i go to Friday? sunset rubdown, black lips, or the Fool's Gold tour featuring: A-trak, dj mehdi, kid sister, kainsky? honestly i'd probably choose sunset rubdown easy, but since i'm not going to be able to leave san diego until 5:30 its going to be tough to get to that show. Black Lips go on at 10:15 and the Fool's Gold thing starts at 10.

[rage patton]

UNKLE the 26th, who's goin?

I just watched some live videos of them... and they look like they put on a great live show. I hope I get to see them at Vegoose.

Ozzy/Rob Zombie this Saturday. I havent seen either before. I am excited.

[tessalasset]

im gonna see if i can get into unkle. summerkid, sunset rubdown wont go on til around 10 either.

[suprefan]

WHERE IS THAT SHOW

As mentioned before, Nissan Live Sets. you had to win in, so if you got that you are set.

[arbouler]

As mentioned before, Nissan Live Sets. you had to win in, so if you got that you are set.

yea im sure they figured it out when they saw that post...

[bmack86]

We both sent out emails trying to get in. Haven't heard back yet. I'm not too hopeful.

[keriann]

you know what would also own? dan deacon with the la phil.
yeah, no

[ewiggy]

i wish i was going to two gallants tonight and sunset rubdown on friday.

[iv3rdawG]

KTLA did a little interview inside the Nokia Theatre this morning getting shots of it and looking around and stuff. It'll probably show up on their website later today if any of you are interested.

[tessalasset]

its pretty rad inside. it's like an indoor greek theater.

[dorkfish]

yeah, no
dream crusher

[keriann]

The dream can stay alive. I just don't share it.

This is a pre party for the Fools Gold Show at the Roxy Fri Night.

Def will be stopping by to try and slip mehdi a mix I made.

[shakermaker113]

damn! I wish that had happened here in SF. not that I was paying attention anyway. I'd love to see them in a club though. I didn't go because of the venue size & ticket price. oh well.

HA! I just realized the SF Interpol show hasn't even happened yet. I really should pay attention.

[ShyGuy75]

Silversun Pickups this Saturday at the Wiltern. Should be amazing.

[mistdevil]

interpol > silversun pickups! =P

[mvanwinkle]

polyphonic spree on halloween is coming up. hoping they willll dress up crazier then normal.

[bballarl]

JAMC on Monday or Tuesday. Hmm. Tuesday has the added bonus of Evan Dando AND BRMC, while Monday has Evan Dando plus a drive. I have both days off, so maybe I'll do both. Who knows.

[arbouler]

dangit, no word on pj harvey tonight, i can still get in to the show but i prolly wont be able to shoot it. so i should just stay at home and watch the office and ugly betty. or should i go see the velvet teen? i cannot decide...

[bmack86]

Yeah, I've got no word on PJ, which makes me think it's not happening for me. Piss.

[suprefan]

If they didnt email you within hours of the email, its not happening. When I went for the Beck performance, I was notified the same day.


The SF Interpol show is going to make the SSPU show look like a high school battle of the bands.

[ShyGuy75]

"The SF Interpol show is going to make the SSPU show look like a high school battle of the bands."

LOL! Good one! I guess you like radio rock and groups that mix other peoples music just to get by...just to get high...just to get by, so I bet you really believe that statement you wrote. Keep fightin the good fight suprefan, you will understand the error of your ways one day.

P.S. Stop being so butt-hurt over the Justice thread beating. You are starting to come off like a 9 year old who just had his sandcastle kicked over.

[ThomThom]

I'm sure both Interpol and Silversun will both put on great shows for their fans, now both of you shut your fucking pie holes already...Back to business

If anybody is interested, that douchebag from system of a down is having some type of secret show on halloween weekend at HOB Sunset, tickets on sale tomorrow for $25.

''Yes bitch I am not far from the line right now. These kids that are in the front of the line got to the venue at 9pm last night. Who gives a s**t what I do to pass time waiting here. Its windy as hell though''

[bballarl]

Tonight = Dr. Dog, Apollo Sunshine and The High Strung at the Troubadour. This is going to be an awesome show.

dude, i wish i could hang with you for a year to go see shows that you go to, seems always good choices ..... i lived in la habra for 3 years, and hit the city a lot, but that was wayyyyyyyyyy long ago .. canx**

[Bosco]

U.N.K.L.E. = TONITE

[bmack86]

Black Lips tonight.

Also, the Smell has a killer lineup for the next month and a half. I'm actually gonna make my way out there finally.

[Boourns]

Does anyone know if Sigur Ros will actually be at the screening on the second?

[luckyface]

U.N.K.L.E. = TONITE

Please post your review here! With a setlist, too.

[signmeup]

ITS GOING TO SUCK. thats my pre-review for the UNKLE show that Im not going to.

[bmack86]

Black Lips were alright. Not as energetic as I had hoped. They left the stage after 45 minutes with no encore, but they were fun when they were there.

[bmack86]

Does anyone know if Sigur Ros will actually be at the screening on the second?

They apparently will be at a screening on the 3rd at UCLA, so I would guess that they'll be in town for the screening on the 2nd. I'm excited as all hell for the show on the 3rd.

[sonofhal]

I queued up for 2 hours for a free Les Savy Fav show last night (in the freezing cold) only to be told it was guest list only. There was a few hundred rather pissed off people.

Any of you going to the Bishop Allen show tonight at the Echo? They're playing over here at the end of Nov and i was wondering what they are like live. The new album is a real grower.

[suprefan]

So Interpol was amazing tonight, best I have seen them in a while.

[suprefan]

I was fine hearing Untitled after 4 years. The flow of the set was really good, puting Cmere and Take You on A Cruise early set the tempo. Only dissapointment is not hearing Pace Is The Trick. Guess I will hope L.A. doesnt get anything insanely special and it would make this trip worth it. Not that it wasnt. And I enjoyed The Liars unlike a few other people. Mistdevil and ThomThom felt like it ws torture, but I took it as having a good time and didnt overanalyze. Their singer is crazy. Jimmy Kimmel should rock I expect, they didnt seem tired or worn out by the tour which is great. Pictures tomorrow, security tried to stop me once but didnt bother after that since everyone and their mother had a camera. Oh and thank you security lady for not checking your ticket scanner before doors and almost costing me the front by delaying the line.

What the hell? Seriously? Where did you hear about this? Where at UCLA and when do tickets go on sale? Nothing about it on the official site or board.

Just got announced by Cultural Affairs Commission. They're going to do a screening at one of the rooms in Wooden. It's free, but they're only letting 1,000 people in. Most people on the board are screwed methinks because I'm pretty sure it's students only, but as long as you have your old bruin card you should be fine.

[Boourns]

Oh snap. Where and what time? Isn't Wooden the gym?

Man I need to tell my friend about this.


Oh and Brian, you totally rule for going to see Deathklok and Trail of Dead. My friends were wondering how thats going ot be pulled off. Also they wanted to know if liability releases were going to be signed in case of ''death by too much metal'' for anyone going

For the first time ever, facebook was useful for something besides scoring pictures of a crush:

*** CULTURAL AFFAIRS COMMISSION PRESENTS ***

ALL UCLA STUDENTS-- LISTEN UP!

On Saturday, November 3rd, the unparalleled and world renowned band SIGUR ROS will be coming to UCLA!

Iceland’s Sigur Rós are true innovators of 21st-century rock. The group continues to mix the most interesting aspects of U2, Radiohead, and My Bloody Valentine while not sounding like anyone else on this planet.

Their music is truly one of a kind, and they've played sold out shows in venues as big as the Hollywood Bowl. They've been called "The first essential band of the 21st century" and that they are "pre-whatever comes this century".

Their highly acclaimed film, HEIMA, is the first film by Sigur Rós which was filmed over two weeks during the summer of 2006 when the band undertook a free tour of Iceland. 'heima' is Icelandic for "at home" or "homeland".

Critics have said "HEIMA is like going to church and kneeling at the altar of sheer musical brilliance. If your eyes don’t get misty, you are not human." Don't miss this!

The acoustic set and movie screening will be taking place at COLLINS COURT, John Wooden Center.

The event will be from 8-10PM, and DOORS WILL OPEN at 7PM.

****We can only accept the first 1,000 people, so make sure you come early!****

We will start wristbanding at 6:00PM at BRUIN PLAZA. Only UCLA students with a valid Bruin ID will receive a wristband. Please look out for the Cultural Affairs table!

This is a FREE event to all UCLA students! So get your wristband and be ready to have a great time!

**ATTENTION:
NO HIGH HEELS, COWBOY BOOTS, OR ANY SHOE WITH A POINTED/HEAVY HEEL, because they will mark the gym floor. You may only wear NON-MARKING SOLED SHOES or you will be asked to leave.

the sigur ros gig is only for the ucla students? thats retarded.

[Boourns]

I hope alumni can get in...

*kisses his old ID for good luck*

[shakermaker113]

no cowboy boots? what the hell?

[bballarl]

I hate going to a small school that doesn't do cool things.

[miscorrections]

at least it isn't a big school that doesn't do cool things.

[Boourns]

no cowboy boots? what the hell?

It's in a gymnasium. And I just noticed that the article insinuates the Hollywood Bowl gig sold out when it didn't.

[full on idle]

I may go see Blonde Redhead on Wednesday at the Warfield.
I may go see The Hold Steady and Art Brut at the Warfield on Nov 5.
I may go see Fog at Cafe du Nord or Spiritualized at Bimbo's on Nov 11.
I have tickets to see Band of Horses at Mezzanine on Nov. 23.
I have tickets to see The Coup at the Independent on Dec 15.
I have tickets to see Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks at GAMH on Dec 19.

I fucking love San Francisco so hard.

[tessalasset]

aw go see Fog for me.

[Boourns]

at least it isn't a big school that doesn't do cool things.

Before UCLA, I went to Old Dominion University, a primarily commuter school in the GHETTO, and UCLA was a total paradise compared to that. Sure, ODU did have speakers once in a while (Janet Reno, George Bush, the IRL Patch Adams) and crappy concerts (Fuel and some rapper I still haven't heard of but one year they did have Outkast but for whatever reason I didn't make it), but there was literally nothing for the unfortunate on-campus students to do.

UCLA kids whine about how boring Westwood is with their one bar and no clubs, but ODU kids would have killed for all those good, cheap places to eat, movie theaters, EB, a campus where people weren't shot on a weekly basis, an especially high percentage of attractive co-eds, etc. ODU, on the other hand, had a 7-11, McDonalds, Subway, and a terrible Chinese restaurant within walking distance, and a bar that shut down about 8 years ago. And nothing as exciting as a free Sigur Ros screening/performance, and bands like Franz Ferdinand, Broken Social Scene, Bloc Party, The Walkmen, Xiu Xiu, Ima Robot, Architecture In Helsinki, CSS, Ladytron, The Roots, etc playing free shows.

[miscorrections]

i don't go to ucla. i go to ucsd. we do not have shit.

[Boourns]

i don't go to ucla. i go to ucsd. we do not have shit.

Damn, that sucks. Don't they at least have decent (paid) concerts once in a while?

[miscorrections]

once in a long while.

[Boourns]

Anything fun to do within walking distance?

I've only driven through the campus once...six and a half years ago.

I'm curious because I would've went to UCSD if it weren't for UCLA and a couple other factors.

[miscorrections]

A Summary of La Jolla:

1. Sloppy drunk forty year olds with giant collagen lips and ratty extensions clutching onto rich, classless slobs.

2. Old people scowling at everyone who isn't a septuagenarian.

3. Everything closing by 8 pm.

4. Pretty but overcrowded beach.


but this isn't about my relationship with la jolla.

[Boourns]

Ahh, gotcha. God, I hate rich people. Especially old rich people.

[luckyface]

Only UCLA students get Sigur Ros? Lame. Almost as lame as UCLA students.

Anyone going to Ken Andrews tonight?

[arbouler]

ucsd campus is sooo much better than usc's campus. so yea, cherish that thought. we're just an overpriced school in a ghetto neighborhood where gunshots are our entertainment. you guys get better food! i had some japanese food on the second floor of that center court. it's soo good! and that place serves alcohol too (at least i know the japanese place does)

[miscorrections]

shogun is alright. lots of places on campus serve beer, and we have a pub, but that doesn't really make a difference if you're not 21.

BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT SCHOOL ANGST

[bmack86]

Like I said, I bet this means that the screening on the 2nd will have them play an acoustic set as well. If not, that sucks, but damn, I'm going to be front row for this.

[mistdevil]

so, were coming back from sf.. me, chris and bev are at panda express in gilroy eating lunch.. interpol was awesome yesterday.. i am very pleased..

BTW I GOT SAM'S DRUMSTICK WOOT!!

[bmack86]

I want to hear more about Liars set. Namely, how awesome they were.

[ewiggy]

sunset rubdown - the other night - el rey:

i quite like el rey. the crowd seemed to be the same crowd from the troubadour, meaning they were respectful and actually there to see the band.

sunset rubdown is pretty good, but not very good with crowd interaction and so you feel a bit disjointed from their performance while watching them.

i don't know what song it was, but they closed their encore with a song that required quiet and stillness to build atmosphere into a loud, screamy ending..

except for a gaggle of LA types who found it amusing to clap off-beat, hoot and holler at the band from the back as if they were heckeling them or purposefully trying to ruin it for everyone. and they succeeded in ruining the song for me, which would have been the stand out of the set.

as my brother and i walked out, i found myself next to one of the interrupters, and i said "hey dude - that was disrespectful. you and your friends ruined that song for everyone around you. thanks a lot." he said "you're welcome, i had a good time", and then SKIPPED off. skipped. weird.

having a hard time adjusting to that kind of person. i've seen a lot of shows in the Detroit area, Tampa and Atlanta, and i never ran across those types of people until i moved out here. it's a complete disappointment.

[paulb]

Ill be seeing Digitalism tonight. Should be good, i think. I have no clue what to expect. Has anyone seen them live before? Are they good?

[full on idle]

That fucking sucks, Kristen. I hated that about the Hollywood Bowl when I went there for TVOTR, like you could turn around and look straight at the people and be luck "SHUT THE FUCK UP." and they just didn't care at all.

[rage patton]

So I went to the Ozzy/Rob Zombie show last now. And it seriously kicked ass.

I have to say, Rob Zombie out did Ozzy. The Prince of fucking Darkness was great, but Zombie slayed. He opened up with American Witch, a song of his new album which I wasnt to familiar with, but then right after tore into Living Dead Girl. During the first couple songs, Zombie did look a little tired. But he admited that himself. The crowd was also kinda dead. *insert your own joke here* However, as soon as More Human Than Human started (I think 4th or 5th song) his energy was completelty restored and the place blew up too! Zombie jumped off the stage into the seated crowd on the floor (lame) jumped up on peoples chairs and sung from the floor. It was fucking awesome. Anyways, the rest of the show kicked ass. It included lots of fire, explosions, tits, Go-Go dancers, more fire, and a dancing robot. It was great. I also got a pretty good video of Dragula, which ended the show. I knew Ozzy wasnt gonna be able to top that.
With that being said, Ozzy was fucking great. With the exception of the first two songs. He started off with one of his new songs, I forget which one, and it just didnt sound that great. Then next they played Crazy Train. Which was a complete clusterfuck. It seemed like all the instruments were out of time and Zack Wylde ruined it by masterbating his guitar instead of playing what he was suposed too. However, after that, the show ruled. Mainly, if for no other reason, for one song. Mr. Crowley. That song sounded SO fucking good live. Like. Wow. The keyboards, Ozzys voice, the guitar, they pyro, the higher ratio of lighters to cell phones... everything. Oh, I also have to mention, Mike Bordin fuckin killed on drums. My god. As a huge Faith No More fan, it was cool seeing him play.
Anyways, it was a great show.

UCI is probably worse. Its boring and so conservative. At least we had Taking Back Sunday at the Bren Events Center! (throwing up in my mouth while writting this.)

[Boourns]

I guess Sigur Ros is the CAC's way of making it up to the students for subjecting them to Thrice, T.I., and the Pimp My Ride guy.

[suprefan]

I want to hear more about Liars set. Namely, how awesome they were.

I really enjoyed it. As stated before others were nto so kind.


And now after seeing what couldve been on the Interpol set list. They had NYC and The Specialast on tap for SF, and got DENIED. Oy, no fair.

[betao]

the cure - next may in DC

and coachella 08

and virgin fest baltimore 08

Can anyone who was at Interpol last night confirm that they played Take You On A Cruise and Untitled? If they do that in LA too I'm going to be fucking irate that I had to sell off my tickets.

Yes, they played it. Very happy I went last night in hopes L.A. maybe gets screwed.

[shakermaker113]

AH crap I wish I could have gone. fuck this 'moving' crap. moving gets in the way of everything.

[ThomThom]

Just got back from SF, Interpol was fantastic and they played Untitled which was clearly a highlight, though I would have loved NYC and The Specialist to go along with it. The crowd was good but a little rowdy at times (I think I'm growing too old or simply tired of GA shows) and I think I am being nice when I say that the Liars were fucking horrible.

[suprefan]

And no thanks to me Sasha for the line thing? Oh and yeah you guys getting killed was semi due to me not being there to keep the idiots in check. I got your poster dude, so you better come get it sometime. I am also considering going Tuesday, just because it was that good and it woudl be nice to watch them and not be up front.

Damn it! I have been dying to hear Untitled. Now I am second guessing my decision to see Jesus & Mary Chain. They'll come back through LA again sometime in the near future, right?

[bmack86]

I would go on tuesday solely to see Liars, but it's Man Man time, and that's a special time indeed.

[suprefan]

Damn it! I have been dying to hear Untitled. Now I am second guessing my decision to see Jesus & Mary Chain. They'll come back through LA again sometime in the near future, right?

Yes, but who knows if they play Untitled again right?

[luckyface]

I saw Ken Andrews tonight. He fucking ruled! The setlist wasn't as awesome as his last show in town, but it was great nonetheless. He still sounds as good as he did in his Failure days. We also got a treat of the Failure drummer coming on stage to drum to The Nurse Who Loved Me.

Yes, but who knows if they play Untitled again right?

Right. Ok, well I need to make a decision then. Deal with the Forum and hear the band I like better (and re-obtain a floor ticket) or see Jesus in a more intimate venue? I have a day.

[suprefan]

Wiltern or Anaheim HOB?

[luckyface]

Wiltern or Anaheim HOB?

Wiltern. Much easier to get to than Anaheim on a weekday.

[suprefan]

True, but HOb holds 900, that shouldve helped for sure in that decision making. Also you know JAMC wouldnt be going on until later, so getting there late wasnt the worst thing in the world. Interpol is in Vegas tomorrow, hopefully they dont do anything crazy there that makes the Forum show suck. Also Rocke they are doing Jimmy Kimmel on thursday, so all is not lost.

[luckyface]

I have class Thursday, so I won't be able to hit that up unless they would let me show up at 7:30 or so.

Decisions decisions. If someone wants to pick me up from SC and drive me to the Forum, that will help in the process haha. That is if I can find a taker for my JAMC tix and I can find a reasonable Interpol ticket.

[ThomThom]

Lucky,

Fear not, I suspect Interpol will be doing at least one more run through North America before they go on hiatus like they usually do. I would assume it would be sometime next spring and it will be a smaller tour in smaller venues, probably The Wiltern or The Greek. I doubt they don't play Untitled again, man that song is so fucking amazing live.

I am thinking of unloading my Interpol tickets or trading my floor for a nice LOGE seat, after the Bill Graham show in SF I don't have another GA show in me.

I was there too!!! and at the one in April. He was absolutely amazing. I don't know what setlist was better. I think I'm leaning towards this one because he played Something, Allergic, DBB!!, Lie Down and the Stone Roses cover. I was blizzown away. During the Nurse, it was totally a "holy shit, is this happening" moment. It was powerful. The whole show was.
I met Ken after and he's so sweet, funny, and still incrediby sexy. He wrote a song w/ Jordan from Blinker the Star called "Amy" (my name) and he said he might release it for me. Hehehe. I'm awesome.

Roc-A-Fella Records' CEO and Def Jam President Jay-Z will leave the office in November to embark on the "American Gangster Live" tour, a five-date outing in support of his upcoming album, American Gangster.



Jay-Z will treat fans to exclusive shows in mid-sized, intimate venues in Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia, where he will perform songs from his American Gangster album, which is the rapper's interpretation of the upcoming American Gangster movie.



The rapper will kick off the tour at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on November 6, the same day the American Gangster album lands in stores. "I really look forward to touring, because of the music…the musicality of it all," Jay-Z told AllHipHop.com in a previous statement.



American Gangster stars Denzel Washington as Frank Lucas, a 1970's Harlem drug lord who imported tons of heroin into the community and created a massive drug distribution network, which raked in hundreds of millions of dollars.



The movie also stars Russell Crowe, Cuba Gooding Jr. and rappers Common, the RZA and incarcerated rapper/actor T.I.



Jay-Z's interpretation of American Gangster hits stores November 6.



Tour dates for the "American Gangster Live" tour are listed below:



11/6 Los Angeles-House of Blues
11/7 Chicago-House of Blues
11/9 Baltimore-Ramshead
11/11 New York-Hammerstein
11/12 Philadelphia-Fillmore


If this is not expensive I will for sure be at the LA date.

Yeah, I douched out at the last minute. I had the week from hell... started my new job, had 2 papers due, and a presentation that week so I was wiped out by the time the show came around. I wasn't sure he'd play Failure stuff, too, so I said screw it. I so regret it now.

Shit, were you filming the show with a camera by any chance?

I've got Los Campesinos! and You Say Party! We Say Die! (a night of exclamation marks - shame they didn't get !!! on the bill too) tomorrow followed by Asobi Seksu on Wednesday.

Tell me how they are. Their local shows they put on here were always crazy fun and a giant party. Its cool to see a band you actually know, go somewhere.

So Interpol in Vegas tonight. I didnt go, just reporting, The Specialist and The Lighthouse were played. Only in Vegas, only in Vegas.......

[luckyface]

Am I the only one who couldn't care less about The Specialist? I find it to be their most boring song yet everyone would eat their shit to hear it live.

Lighthouse would be cool, though. Untitled tomorrow, please! I secured my ticket, so I will be there officially. Just need to figure out how to get there, although I am leaning towards driving and paying that $22 parking fee (unbelievable).

Well I didnt have problems, and who knows I mean you are a tall white guy and walking through that neighborhood might not be totally cool with you though. But I had no problems when I did it for Muse back in April, I made sure to park next to s street lamp. Let me pull up a map and Ill give you the streets.



Edit:


Try Nutwood, Osage, Flower, or Kelso st off Prairie. Those streets are a straight walk towards the forum and there was free parking. Just check the signs and you are good.

There is a chance I am going, but if not, no biggie. I was fine with just seein them in SF, the crowd was better than whatever L.A. has to offer tonight, that I am sure of. They'll come back and hopefully the venue is more desirable here.

Juliette and the Licks played at my job on Friday. It was an interesting crowd, lots of older folks mingling with younger hipster types. I was working the door and carded about 700 people. Capacity's 400 so easily 100 people were turned away. A friend of mine went in and said she was great. That's all I've really got to go on.
Sunday was the Melvins. We were expecting it to be just as wild as the Juliette Lewis show and had extra security. They went on at 10:45, which some customers thought was too late. I caught 3 songs of theirs 'cause it was fairly dead. Half an hour into their set, I asked the girl at the ticket register what our count was at and she said 192. Some more people trickled in after that but it was still only half as full as we were expecting it to be. Fortunately, the crowd wasn't too nuts. We only kicked one guy out for being too drunk -- he fell on one of the security guys and was walking around at a 135 degree angle outside of the bar afterwards. (We offered to get him a cab but he declined.) He fell on the sidewalk across the street and was flopping about like a fish out of water, which provided for a funny enough show. Oh yeah, back to the Melvins, Dale Crover's drumming was bad ass. That's pretty much all I can report.

What's the deal with Sigur Ros?

[mistdevil]

So Interpol in Vegas tonight. I didnt go, just reporting, The Specialist and The Lighthouse were played. Only in Vegas, only in Vegas.......

WTF!!! maybe la?

[luckyface]

No Untitled last night means we are all set for it tonight! Fuck The Specialist.

[suprefan]

Im rooting for you not getting Untitled but you do get like NYC. Then Ill be jealous. I havent heard NYC in 4 years.


I am debating on seeing Moving Units tonight for free at the Viper Room. I am on the list, but I know they wont play until midnight or something. And do I really wanna go down to Sunset tonight?

I love NYC, but I have gotten it at 3 of my 4 Interpol shows. I would much prefer Untitled and to not make anyone jealous.

[suprefan]

I am going to call Paul right now and tell him to play it for you Rocke, I want you to cry!!! j/k I do hope they play it. I am sure they will, along with like a triple encore or something. Dont forget to get that poster for the show too. That, and a couple other things merch wise are the only things worth getting.

[ThomThom]

I think LA will get Untitled, man I can't say it enough...That song is fucking fantastic live!

Holy shit they did The Lighthouse live??? WOW

[ThomThom]

Wel, Im going to see Sigur Ros now.

Yes sir!...Can't wait for the 1st, what time does the screening start Chris?

[Boourns]

Can't go on the first. Flight arrives that night during the fucking show. Said flight was only purchased so I could make it back to LA in time to see them on the second. How dare they flake out on doing the arclight on the second. Kudos for ripping off everyone.

[bballarl]

[suprefan]

where are the free parking spots near the orpheum?

[suprefan]

There are none, take the subway and walk.

[suprefan]

Interpol played Untitled and The Lighthouse @ The Forum. Set was the same the rest of the way.

[bmack86]

where are the free parking spots near the orpheum?

I found a lot that had closed at 8 about 2 blocks away, so it was free and it seemed plenty safe.

[bmack86]

and, Man Man were insane tonight. About 1/3 of the set (maybe more) was new material, and it is absolutely solid, on par with, if not better than, the stuff from Six Demon Bag. They were extremely energetic, as usual, and sounded great.

[Boourns]

where are the free parking spots near the orpheum?

When I saw the Dresden Dolls there last year, my friend parked for free without any problems, and this was after the doors had opened. It was street parking on 9th street, I believe.

Gorgeous venue.

Yep. I got my Untitled and Stella after 5 shows (finally)! Really happy with my choice to see Interpol. Band sounded and played better than I have ever seen and got a great setlist. They really have stepped up. Definitely enjoyed the set more than Coachella.

The low points were when I saw some dude literally pushing and throwing punches at women in order to get to the front (real swell guy... security confiscated his ass) and the scent of a couple of people around me almost made me throw up a couple times (seriously). I also got to see some kid with absolutely no game try to hit on this chick. Some of his choice lines included "...I can't ever seem to get a girlfriend" and "I never get girls because I attract lesbians." I laughed.

Great show though!

[ThomThom]

Lucky,

Congrats on FINALLY getting Untitled and Stella, what I am more interested in is The Lighthouse, how did that sound live?

[luckyface]

It sounded great! It kind of seemed out of place in the set, but I thought it translated very well live. It also requires a good crowd that will be attentive. But sonically speaking, it was great. Very cool dynamic on stage. Most of the song is just Paul and Daniel.

The main reason why I figured that The Lighthouse would be one of those tracks that they never pay live is due to the fact that there really is no place for it on any of their sets, I'm glad they tried something new.

I just hate the fact that they refrain from playing the more subtle tracks off of Antics like Next Exit and A Tme To Be So Small. The one that particularly hurts me the most though is their neglect towards Roland.

Yeah I hear ya. A Time to Be So Small would be incredible. Have they ever played it? Next Exit was a staple last tour, but I can see why they abandoned it. If it is not opening a show, then there is not a good spot for it.

Believe it or not both Next Exit and A Time To Be So Small were played heavily on their last tour, including the obvious fan favorite Roland. They completely ditched all three tracks for this entire tour.

[luckyface]

Weird, I never got to see A Time to Be Small. I do recall seeing Roland every now and again, and Next Exit was played at like every show in 2004-5. Oh well. Maybe they will bust them out for leg 2 in the Spring.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

See ya at Joanna maybe. How's your seat?

Balcony. :( I was hoping for better but that's what I got today at ticketmaster. If I can find any better seats I'll sell mine. It's not that bad though, I'm sure the sound will be really nice from the back. Where are your seats?

PS: I notice you're going to Trail of Dead, do you know if you have to be a student of UCLA to get tickets?

[bmack86]

I'm second row orchestra, dead center. Almost as good as you can get.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Ohhh, nice seats.

[Barbara, the ninja]

Can I be in the know for Trail of Dead, too? I'm a pretend UCLA student.

[Boourns]

Unless it's one of those outdoor shows, you can't get in without valid student ID :(

[bmack86]

Boourns is in the know as a former UCLA student.
